Godwit: Black-Tailed or Bar-Tailed?



These birds seen at Cramond (Just north of Edinburgh) on 20th January 2009.
Can you help?

  1. Bar-tailed Godwits. No white in the wing and the slightly upturned bill plus the back of the bird would look plain grey on Blackwit.

  2. Many thanks for this. It all becomes clear when someone who knows what they're talking about explains it in layman's terms.
